Description: Artist: Hardinge, Charles Stewart (1822 - 1894) Medium: Lithograph Date: 1847 Plate 8 from "Recollections of India. Part 1. British India and the Punjab" by James Duffield Harding (1797-1863) after Charles Stewart Hardinge (1822-1894), the eldest son of the first Viscount Hardinge, the Governor General. This depicts the ouptost in advance of Rhodawala. During the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-46) platforms were built into these trees by Sikh soldiers so that sentries could watch the movement of British troops at Rhodawala. However, the British took possession of this outpost in February 1845. According to Charles Hardinge, the troops could hear "the light song and rolling note of the 'nukaruh' [kettle drum] at night."
